@@deconstructingnarcissism3062 I was going to school and had a job set up before covid.

Fun fact: the unemployment rate doesn't include people who aren't actively looking for work. That means the actual numbers are much higher, and generally unknown.
This is true. Also, what I said: 57 million people moved to the Gig Economy and unemployment is at a record low. Employers now I.D. verify weeding out illegals. There is no-one left to work.
@@themiddlepillar It also doesn't include part time either and if we were to completely remove minimum wage jobs from the statistics the percentage would be way higher.
we need to get paid for when the work is done so we don't sit around with boring crap all day. We need to get paid more when we accomplish more it's that simple.
Correct. Why wasting time and energy working for someone else endless hours for little money? Save as much as you can, leave your shitty job and be your own boss. With some planing ahead it is possible to free yourself from the shackels that hold you back.
@@harthart7529 It depends on the current state of the economy a lot of people are struggling. I failed business about 4 times this is my 5th attempt. It just depends on how bad you want to be successful and what career you choose. I didn't want to go to school or learn a trade. I would rather be in charge and making the deals instead of doing all the work for other people's businesses.
Not to mention the abuse coming from all sides; coworkers, customers, and management. And how you can't even fight back. I've learned that you don't need to do something bad to get you in trouble. You just need someone to perceive you doing something bad and make the right amount of complaints. So, essentially, if the customers don't like you, you WILL be fired eventually. So, not only do you need an education for an entry level job, but a truck load of charisma as well. But then you're dealing with harassment as well. There's just no point in getting a job.
I tried fighting back and proving myself but they just wanted to kick me out the door. I was a good employee who showed up on time while others either left early or didn't show up for days and weeks at a time its just sad. Shows favoritism is alive and well in these companies. I did my job but I wasn't an ass kisser and didn't go above and beyond and do other peoples jobs and I guess they didn't like that, oh well.
@@deconstructingnarcissism3062 I remember I had a coworker who was 16. The customers loved her, but many of us knew she was a lesbian. Older customers would come in and either flirt with her or try and set her up. It was creepy. She wasn't allowed to tell people she didn't date men, or call out grown men for hitting on a minor. She was miserable, but forced to endure it. Unlike with her, customers would pretty much hate me. They'd try to talk about very personal things or ask stupid questions, then get mad when I'd be honest. Like, they'd ask why the registers were so small. I'd tell them it was because they're meant for customers with small orders. Then they'd get mad and act like I just insulted them. So, lots of times, they'd finish their orders with my coworker. So, we didn't get along.
Yes. Unfortunately that was my situation as well but thankfully I've moved onto corporate America and onto better things. Now I'm currently working as a Financial Advisor building my own business.

The fair wage debate is a symptom of something else. Imo, minimum wage shouldnt be super high due to it being essentially the same as "minimum productivity required to get a job" to employers. This prices out the young and handicapped, it leads to employers asking for more requirements which affects those 2 groups the most. However, wages overall havent kept up with inflation. This is the real issue, as this is where cost of living expenses will hit people the most. Prices for things like a home go up so much while wages only slowly rise. Imagine being in a situation where you save as much money as possible but the cost of the houses around you go up faster than you can save. This isnt an uncommon situation at this point, due to wage stagnation, which makes people feel like they arent getting paid enough to have the future they want. Not even talking about a lavish future, but a middle class future. This is the type of stuff that makes people talk about how we're moving towards neo-feudalism. However, the medieval surf probably had it better in terms of job security. The cost of labor is purposefully kept as low as possible in order for execs to reap the rewards. Productivity generally goes up every year, but wages have not kept up with the productivity growth.
There's a business in my town that's hiring, and I was thinking about switching jobs to it. When I asked an employee if the pay was good, she said no. That's why they can't keep good help. Places are understaffed partly because they don't want to do the amount of work they're asked to do, for the pay they're given.
I got exploited for a low wage and bullied at a job a few years ago. Straight up criminal how some employers treat their employees. Men naturally are compromising, charitable and hard working and they get exploited for it.
A narcissist took over my whole business and threw my out. Narcissists run everything now. My narcissist never did a day of real work. They're just parasites, but as the whole society has become narcissistic, the red carpet is rolled out for them everywhere.
Recently had new owners take over rhe restaurant I work at.. it's a shitshow. They are Indian and barely speak any English, yet took over an all white store in a small north eastern town. They treat everyone like trash, demanding unappreciated and distant/cold. Have had many long time employees quit due to him shaving hours and reducing pay, removing benefits. They are horrible people, the owner class. He has never ONCE thanked the skeleton crew that remains for keeping his store running, never once. He will sink wit this mentality. I am finding a new job, I can't live this way. He schedules ppl 20 hrs less then the old owners did and then calls you 16 times on your day off harassing you to come in, it's like FUCK YOU dude.

It’s about time someone spoke common sense! Poverty is not the fault of being a “bad worker” but the fault of a society that only sees people as workers.
A nice video. If the minimum wage kept up with inflation, minimum wage would now be about $23 an hour. That says a lot. That’s a big reason millions of people struggle in the US.
I've read that the minimum wage should be way hire around $26-28 if kept up with inflation but I live in the good old state of Illinois so I get fucked by the taxes anyway. If the gov didnt take out as many fucking taxes as they do then we would all be way better off. Its not like the money is going to fix the roads or make our schools better or literally anything useful and the fact that we dont even have the right to see where our taxes go speaks volumes as to what is actually being done with our hard earned money.
The problem is where is the taxes going. It should always be asks. If the answer involves in violence, that should tell you everything you know, corrupt and dictatorship.

So my theory on why companies put out "We're hiring" signs and tell their employees that no one applies; These companies like saving money by being UNDERSTAFFED. The understaffed staff work extra hard, and the company PRETENDS it's trying to fill the positions. I've been working for the last 3 or 4 years with almost half the needed staff. We run around like chickens with our heads cut off. But we get the work done....and the company is happy to save on pay and benefits.
Exactly. I used to work at Walmart on the 2nd shift unloading team and they would never hire any additional help even though they said we were supposed to have a crew of 14 workers on every day and we only had 6 unloaders total. They love saving money on labor because that is their biggest operating expense.
@@AK-47ISTHEWAY I would tell them that they LOSE money because of burn-out and turnover, but none of them had any real HR or money skills to understand the longterm costs of understaffing.
I work at a union job and we're understaffed. At the Union negotiations next year I'm going to PO a lot of people by pointing this out. I want there to be a bonus structure... figure out what full staffing looks like, then pay bonuses to the people in the positions where there are openings. If we get to full staffing, then no one gets a bonus. But for if say there are 3 people supposed to be working a job and there's two people working it, then split the hourly wage of the open position between those actually doing the job. Oh, and I work at a nonprofit...
That's what I had in my retail call centre they made us do work for 2 shops with only 2 people and we had people leaving after few weeks as well due to the workload 😅
My first job out of college, top my of class. I earned about $50k a year, which was about enough to afford sleeping on a mattress on a floor of a duplex. Despite bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in billable work, I still only made about 25% more than our group admin (a 49 y/o women with no degree). After about 5 years I realized how raw of a deal, how out leveraged I was. How, in my mind, I was a professional: I had degrees, certifications, a "professional job" with an office and willingness to work hard. Yet, I couldn't afford to buy furniture, eat well, service college debt, or date respectable women. I realized I was a chump, getting paid in fake money to do real work, for my boss and the firm's shareholders.
I’m in my forties and still haven’t even made it to $50k yet. I’m a career changer who went back to school and got my bachelor’s degree in business administration, but still can’t get past that. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or if it’s just employers being cheapskates.
@@babblesp1367 you can never win because you're the one chasing their job same as hundreds of other applicants, instead of them running after you like it was during the pandemic. It's all about leverage/who is at an advantage during the negotiation. In school we're not thought anything useful so that when we go work at the factory we can work for minimum wage. At that age they will use the "you don't have any experience" excuse. Later when you have 10 years of experience they will use the "but you don't have experience with these other tools and positions" excuse. Later when you're 40+ they will use the "you have lots of experience, you're over qualified, or too old and can't learn new things (we don't want to pay you so much and can't manipulate you that easily anymore)" excuse. In China they don't hire anyone above the age of 35 because they can't work over time non stop. Hopefully the market will cool down and the banks will lend out cheap money again so that there will be x2 more jobs than now like it was for many years.

Unless it's a STEM Job you don't need a college degree. You learn what you need to learn on the job by doing the job. College, except for STEM, is a racket.
College is basically pay to play. A degree means very little now. I'm over 50. The best advice can give anyone that is 18 is to learn a trade or join the military for one enlistment and then get a government job since they prefer ex military.
I am in retail. It has gone down the drain over the years. Working at a big box store you can see the decline. More and more benefits and perks are being taken away. Little by little so it's not noticeable. It's not fun anymore. As far as everything else at work , Society is deteriorating. People have lost Respect, Patience and Manners. Customers make it hard to go in everyday.
in HS in LA my first "real" job was Teamster's Retail. My management trainees were almost all Vets. God, we had FUN, worked really hard, and were well paid. Then in the early seventies the oil crisis hit, and wages were stalled. Then 1980 and RR, Thatcher, Mulroney in Canada got elected, and GUTTED the Union pay. Killed mentoring and Union PROPER training, but didn't REPLACE it with anything. Nineties killed the unions. This process has been going the wrong direction for a long, long time. Warehouse?? Went "temp" labor where your agency billed 25 an hour, you got 11. No wonder if you can get other income streams going, go for it.
Retail used to be manageable…before inflation got worse, customers got more miserable, managers got more mean and entitled, and our payroll kept getting abysmally lower and lower…
I have seen recurring problems w online job postings since 2020: 1. the AI algorithm automatically ignores some resume formats, 2. ridiculous job requirements for entry-level jobs (nobody wants to train), 3. requiring lengthy unpaid "test" projects to be completed as part of the application, 4. some employers are STILL not posting a salary
When I see on indeed that it says the salary for a job is anywhere between $15-30 I always assume its the lowest number since none of these employers ever want to mention THE REAL pay!!!
Also check out my other videos if you want to hear me rant about how ridiculous the job application process is. And you're completely right!! Personality tests, written tests, audio interviews I've had it with all of it!!
@@deconstructingnarcissism3062 -- DO NOT ever take a personality tests. Those tests are dangerous and they can and will be used against you. They will also be a permanent record in a file.
I’ve had to lie about my college education and experience to get hired. As long as it wasn’t management, high paying, government, or information security sensitive jobs they didn’t do that much to verify my claims. Unfortunately those jobs demanding education and experience can be done by someone with a high school diploma with no experience. And the pay is a joke. They demand loyalty yet it’s so easy to get fired and replaced. Cost of everything has gone sky high. Pay hasn’t risen to match that. There’s no point in working, or at least working very hard, just enough to pay your monthly expenses. If I didn’t have my older brother with his house for me to pay rent for a tiny bedroom there, I would be screwed. I’m doing the “Lie Flat” movement like the Chinese. Do the least amount to just cover the bills. No getting a college degree, no buying a house, no getting married, no having children. Starve the beast.
If the pandemic has taught us anything its that we were all considered "essential workers" during the peak of the pandemic and now we're back to being disposable lmao. Nothing changed it was all an act.
Groceries have doubled in price the past year along with other necessities... rent etc...I don't work anymore I'm retired but it seems that nobody can have a decent life making less than $20 an hour. 10 years ago I rented a cute little one bedroom apartment for $450 a month, I'm sure it's going for close to twice that now. I don't know how people make it these days.
I currently live with my gf in a decent one bedroom apartment but before that I had to live in a shoebox studio apartment in a really bad neighborhood. The interior looked like shit, and gunshots could be heard a few times a week not far away from the complex. I also had to deal and kill multiple rodents in my apartment and the landlord basically did nothing about it. That same apartment complex I was paying $750 a month on a $16 an hour wage back then has now risen to $1100 a month and thats not even including utilities which I had to pay for them all. It basically appreciated in value by over $300 a month and my slumlord didn't add anything of value since I got there.
The two bedroom apartment I share with my family is going to be 3K MtM, and the year lease is near 2K. We don't have a dumpster anymore, we are only allowed one small bin of trash for a week... (everyone breaks that rule tho).
I had a narcissistic boss that paid me $1 over minimum wage for 2 years, constantly verbally abused me and others, and said that we weren't grateful to him.
The minimum wage here in Puerto Rico was 7.50 an hour, now it's 8.50 an hour. I remember when I was offered a tech support job paying $6 per hour despite having a bachelor's degree and I had to travel 40 minutes to get to the location.
The jobs aren’t meant to hire. They are collecting information. The prerequisites for entry levels is a façade. They want who they want. Everyone should start finding ways to create income. The only thing stopping us is the rent, mortgage, phone bill, car insurance, gas. These jobs are paying less that $20/hr, which after taxes, soc sec, Medicaid $20 is 15.50-16.50. I don’t want to work tbh. Let me rephrase that. I don’t want to work at the same place all the time being treated like a robot or like crap. I don’t want to work at a place that takes two three weeks to put me on payroll.
@@TheLegitAlpha Yes and no. What you are saying is essentially correct in my opinion just not deep/extensive enough. I like the idea I just dont like that when people say this that they only say the CEO. Because the wealthy argue back that splitting up the ceo pay between all the employees would not be much of a increase for all the employees. Which of course is a dishonest argument because that would also include giving a piece of his/her pay to other overpaid executives. So what should be done is docking executives and some upper management pay. This is because if the overpaid CEO that sucks all the wages to the top is making 30 or 40 million a year there is no chance his circle of executives immediately below him are making reasonable salaries. On a slightly separate note I have no problem with executives and bosses/managers making more than the average production/floor worker. Although the amount of difference is insane. No one does $30 million worth of work while other people only make food stamp wages. None of either of these statements are meant to be talking about a business owner that are privately owned and not incorporated.
@@TheLegitAlpha if you do that math, it doesn't actually work out. Completely eliminating a CEOs pay would only free up a few dollars per employee per year.
There is an explanation for this. "5yr exp and a degree" for entry level position can be translated as "we will hire senior-level employees that were fired elsewhere for pocket-money worth of salary". One may try to go into trades (truck driver, electrician, welder, plumber etc). The jobs are fairly easy to learn and I heard demand for them and the salaries are quite high (sometimes surpassing the "cozy" jobs).
At least. I wipe my ass with 15-18 an hour. Like what the fuck am I supposed to do with that? This is exactly the reason why I'm building a business in Financial Services right now.
I’ve got a Master’s and can’t teach due to being angry about never getting hired and disability. They hang up on me rather than accommodate me. I’m surrendering to the bullshit at this point. You’re brave for speaking up.
I’m the Loser though. People are walking the street homeless as kids. And it’s due to performance. Or some shit they won’t talk to me about. Select few will live fine.
I don't give fuck anymore. I've stayed silent about too many things for too long. If my current employer finds my video then so be it. Most employers aren't really hiring. Its all for attention.
I’m living in my car and have a few recipes so that I’m eating healthy but not spending too much on food. I have a fridge in my car. I plan on living like this for a while. I’m in school (graduate) and I plan to continue this as I advance onto a career. Of course everyone’s situation is different. I just REFUSE to pay rent. I’ve thought about renting an office space and living there if I can get away with it.
I completely agree regardless sooner live out of a car or be homeless than pay such extortionate rent. Not like most of us could even afford to rent IF we wanted to either.
The wages are stagnant! Most jobs only pay 18 to 19 or 20 but the rents are 1200 to 1350 for a crackerjack box! What a damn shame! You have to eat twice a day to survive! Lol
Around here almost all jobs pay around $16 an hour give or take a dollar. IF you want $20+ you need a degree or enough experience and willingness to deal with the stress to have a management role. But no rent is under $1000 a month except for subsidized housing you can't qualify for on $16 an hour full time. So after rent, utilities, food, household expenses, and your phone you have nothing left. The real livable wage around here if you work 40 hours a week and don't have a bunch of student debt to pay back is like $25 an hour. At $10-$15 to that if you have the student debt. No one pays that unless you have a STEM degree AND 5-10 years experience and even then the number of those jobs is very limited. So most people have to have work at least 50-60 hours a week to make it either in a couple hourly jobs or with an hourly job and a side hustle. Or they work 40 hours a week and have to just be ok with living pay check to pay check and no left over money for entertainment or putting into a 401K or savings and no vising/dental/even in some cases health insurnce. And that's if you don't have credit card debt. It is no wonder some just give up entirely.

I finally got "hired" by an employer last week. I did not even have to interview for the job which was great because I hate interviews. It has been a week now, and they still have not sent the paperwork so I can finally get on with them. I have contacted them twice to let them know I have not received it, and still no paperwork has gotten to me. I have no idea if my info is messed up, they are completely forgetful, or are just leading me on. It's been one thing after another, I swear. Life's passing me by, and while I have myself to blame for a lot of that, these employers either not considering me in the first place or dropping the ball on the hiring process just exacerbate that feeling.
I completely understand. Back in 2020-mid 2021 I was getting 4-5 interviews a week and now that number has dropped to zero. I've filled out hundreds of applications on indeed as well as on actual company websites and I almost never get a call back now. I just gave up. I'm in Financial Services now building my own business now and while its been a slow process its so much better than working for someone else. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that shit again after how I was treated at my last job.
This is all true and my best suggestion is to opt out or tap out. In other words, buy some land owner financed, get a home depot shed. Pay off credit cards and car note. My car note is paid my credit card debt is low. Get a porta potty, gym membership to take showers and wash your clothes at the laundromat and for electricity solar power and heat. Now you can save money, this is living off-grid. We can get together and have our own communities.
I learned the hard way to never work for a women especially a childless woman in her 30+ they are always overgrown bullies that want to take their problems out on men that won’t date them
as opposed to males of any age who make womens lives hell because they won't sleep with the douchbag? Yep, it cuts both ways. The difference is that it's been happening to women for 2000 years.
You want to know what all karens have in common, there get angry at everyone because they haven’t had loving for awhile. Stop play are in your earlier 20s and you will not be look at as looney old woman who wants a fix.
A lot of them are especially in the west. Thats why they can't find a man but I will say its not ALL women. I do feel quite fortunate to have a loving gf who loves to cook, clean and treats me right!!
I use to think getting a job was hard. The fact is an employer needs you 2000 times more than you need them. My point? Stop taking sh1t from employers and demand! If everyone did this we could name our price and our perks. And END bullying in the workplace by fehmale managers!
I got a job offer that was offering 18-19$ an hour and i got them to 23$ an hour but i didnt wanna move back home and work a 11 month contract for 40 hours a week
Totally agree man. A $15/hr job is for teenagers still in high school. Those kind of jobs are fine if you have a primary income where you're getting much higher pay and perhaps 35 hours a week and want another 15 hours to help supplement, while perhaps having different scenery. Otherwise you may want to look into getting a CDL B or A, where there are a ton of positions that they're having a tough time filling and pay livable wages you can get a little ahead on depending on the job.
Employers don't like teenagers working for them but in the same breath they have no problem telling adults working there that its a job for teens lol. Ok well if thats the case then hire teenagers but most of them don't want to work for your crappy wages either so I guess you're SOL then lmao.
We have SO many people apply at my workplace who just never get contacted back. We are very understaffed and they urge people to apply yet I receive so many phone calls from people asking for an update because they've been left in the dark. In the end, no one new is ever hired. This is when they claim no one wants to work.
Thanks for the update. In Canada the woke & liberal government decided to open up a huge loophole on their immigration system and bring in hundreds of thousands of Temp Foreign students from overpopulated countries like India & China, making sure these ppl never to return after graduation and allowing them to apply for Cdn work permit, than later Permanent residency. They get a kickback from the colleges since foreign students pay triple the tuition as locals, the same time libs also get a kickback from corporations because these temp students now with work permit in hand, unable go on welfare, so they have to jump on every and any job avail out there, so you see them in Walmart, DQ, KFC, Pizza H and other places employing them for minimum wage, part time, or on call, temp, short contract, etc. Later these folks now permanent residents will get hired to do the jobs you are applying for, only for half the money. This is how the Government makes sure you remain poor and corporations maximize their profits, while resolving a large demographic issue, NA currently faces.
In the 50's and early 60's profit margines were about 10-11% on average. Now they're about 14-15%. In the 50's Unions was 33% the population. Now its only now its only just over 6%. In the 50s it was common to find a good job right after highschool where you could put in 30yrs. Now to get an entry level job you realistically need at least a college degree and 5yrs experience. Only entry level jobs that dont are fast food at retail. 50's all the way to even the early 2000's it was possible for a man to support his family by himself. Now both parents need to work just to rent while both kids are raised by questionable daycares. In the 50s divorce rates were about 66% or less. Now they're 70% or higher. In the 50s 9-5 existed. Now we still call it 9-5 but its really 8-5 where many of us are expected to donate a free 30mins of labor to the company.....or we're unpaid for 30min lunch....when many of us would rather just not have a half hour lunch and instead go in at 9am instead of 8am. Its just a scam to keep us at work longer but still pay us the same. Yes, racisim and sexisim was a thing back then. But undoubtedly there was a lot of good things fot american workers. Better wages, everything was more affordable, better work life balance, and marriage stability (the glue of society).

Im blessed, I have a great job as a lab tech and recruiters and other labs are reaching out to me constantly. The very first thing I ask is starting salary AND BENEFITS and invariably, its 17-20 bucks an hour. I and others like me have invested tens of thousands in our education; Im not getting out of bed for anything sub-25 with benefits (retirement plan, healthcare insurance, PTO, and education compensation BARE MINIMUM). I understand not very many folks are in my position, but we owe it to the people coming after us to force large companies to compensate fairly. That is, pay me for my labor, take care of my health costs, and reimburse me for the time and money I spent making myself a good worker. We hold all the power if we simply demand better conditions together
I work for a DSP, which delivers for Amazon. My company overstaffs to make sure we have enough people to cover routes, because dropped routes = paying Amazon for it since they then have to Flex them out (basically have gig workers deliver them) and pay the people to deliver them. The job starts at $19 an hour, $3 up from when I started (I now make $21 an hour) where I live. However, it's still barely enough for people to live on, especially for someone like me who lives alone. It needs to be $25 an hour starting, because delivery is a dangerous job. They've been hiring like crazy because people keep getting fired over dumb stuff (safety issues). Nothing required, just be 21, have a valid driver's license, and pass a drug test. These jobs requiring all this crap for entry-level positions are ridiculous.
10 years ago my rent was $950 for a three bedroom. It is now $2015! Thanks Democrats and thank you most of all THANK YOU so much Democrat voters. Also FYI I just paid $65 for two lousy bags of groceries
Ha Ha! Hate to tell you, but it's the wealthy Republicans that own all of these real estate investment companies that are buying up every single rental property in my state and then instantly doubling the monthly rents, while they aren't paying corporate taxes. My apartment complex was bought out by a CA company and they immediately told all tenants their rents were going up by 68% a month so most people were forced to move out! This is happening everywhere in my state. Homelessness has increased by 23% in the last 2 years, which is the highest increase of any state in the U.S.. You can't blame all problems on just one political party or the other. There is plenty of blame to be shared by all when you do some research.

Dude for me I worked at a bunch of places like fast food, grocery stores, and warehouses, it’s not the work load or the hours it’s always f$$$ing people who are content themselves and want to take it out on others. It’s even worse if they are a supervisor or a manager that always run they mouth so much till eventually you end up cracking their jaws or if you got more control over your emotions at least cussing them out and still risk getting fired or erested that’s why I totally understand why people quiet quit they’re jobs man it’s not worth the stress or the risk
But now it’s getting worse because of inflation and Uncle Sam taxing us to death im making 19 an hour and it’s still not enough to pay for everything I’m having to live with my mom and sister so we can try to save up money but it’s like the more we try the more the federal government wants to take
i have always thought… why do some businesses are ALWAYS hiring… that alone should say something… especially small businesses… a huge company may be understandable since in a poll of hundreds it can foreseen someone leaves every week due to reasons NOT related to be unhappy and quitting or being fired… but small businesses always hiring? People should see how most of the reviews for almost jobs have an average of 3 stars…
Unpopular opinion, but... The time to usher hyper-automation and A.I. in the workplace is now. If a business cannot or refuses to streamline, automate, and mechanize existing facilities. That business should not exist. As we are now in the beginning of a post human labor era.
Hahahahahahaha😂 They been saying this for 50 years. It seams like they just implement enough of the "mashine work" to keep people in check. "If you don't want to do it for cheap we will replace you with mashine and you got nothing at all" scare has worked since the "be lucky you have a job in time and age where robots are becoming more and more used" is a sales pitch every manager has used in every line of manual labour work I ever did. But when you look at the budget reality of any bussnes it becomes clear why that is not gonna happen until robots can make other robots without ANY human involvement - a.k.a self replicating. But what will the rich elite do to us when they TRULY dont have any use for us and we are nothong but "freeloders"? Did you know there is a increasing "consensus" amongst the powerful elite that world population should be brought back to 400 milion or so? Just saying. We had Hitler, Stalin, Mau and others who had no problem killing 100's of millions. They wont nees our consensus when they can have bilions robots do the soldiers dirty work either. My place has us building custom stuff out of wood and no CNC machines or nothing. We jokingly call ourself "modern day Amish" Why? Cause we are cheaper then the mashine. They would have to pay up front for the mashines and other equipment and pay more for the "operator" there after which companies don't like doing. This is why they dont buy printers for example. They pay per page printed and the cost is more palatable from one pay period to the next. Also, even thought I do high skill wood working they don't give me any official title so they pay like unskilled labor. I as individual can go someplace else that will do the same since no one will hire me despite my skills since I don't have a peace of paper saying so. But that doesn't change overall picture since my company would just do this to someone else. I used to think positive of education systems till I realised why they truly exist -making sure companies have labour they need. They bring the cost up so you always have large segments of "uneducated" people for cheap labour, even tho most of us (in my company) do SKILLED labour that takes 6-12 months to learn, not 6-12 hours, and 2nywars to truly be "on your own". If more people go to school they increase the fee till they cant and all is good again. An individual can do better for themself but not us as society. When we all say "to hell with it" and there is labour shortage the government starts hiking the rate till the labour becomes cheap again. There is no free market or capitalism notion of "supply and demand" here. Its all rigged in favour of the rich elite. When product demand is high they have no reservation raising prices but when labour damand is high they (republican and democrats hand in hand play their voters people like a flute when it comes to this) will make living condition a hell and invite MILLIONS of "migrants" over to "fix the problem" and ultimately underline any power the working class has.
It would make sense to completely automate everything but in the end automation would just be used by corporations to further enslave people. None of it is being made to make our lives easier job wise at least. When most of them become automated we're going to violence like we have never seen before.
What? Think that one through a little. No productive members of Society - then no one buys those products put out by Robots - and those companies have to close their doors. It's like the Insanity of EV's. Their 50% more expensive and 80% of Americans; 1.) Don't want them, 2.) Can't afford them. So make all the laws supporting Green Agenda you want, but it all collapses under Supply/Demand!
This won't work. No matter how efficient machines are, human labor + machine labor > only machine labor. Countries that produce more outcompete countries that don't, so there is always going to be that incentive to make humans produce.
Put your resume out on job sites like Indeed, Dice, Monster, etc., and update it from time to time. But, this guy is right. Applying for most jobs is a waste of time. Most of the time if your resume is out there head hunters will contact YOU.
I have went to interviews and with smiles rejected me 1, cause have a cane and 2 my stutter... but hired from out of country.. wow.. even in Quebec to speak English for costumers outside of province and I am multi language but NO... got only French speaking.. so.. what is this.. and after a few years of seeing the companies and what a mess it is.. wow... Bravo!!!! What you said is well said!!! *oh rejected from Tim Hortons and McDonalds with years of experience in health care, specialist in management and administration... so.. wow.... !!!!! now I see videos HERE doing well and making money on that.. so.. !!!!
I've been telling people but for some reason they seem to think these wages are livable lol. Maybe in a few parts of the country just barely, but I live in Illinois, one of the worst states in the country so these wages don't pay for shit lol
They don’t get back to you because hundreds of people are submitting an application for the same job. A lot of larger companies have software that pre-reads resumes and cover letters, and filters out applicants based on content (or lack there of). The best way you can get in to a company is having the right connection… it’s not always what you know, but who you know. Creating a network is important for almost any occupation. Getting rejected by an employer, and not getting call backs isn’t fun but you gotta get over it and move on. People don’t want to work because there isn’t as much to work up to as there was before the pandemic. Entry level wages around me have skyrocketed, McDonald’s workers around me are making $18/hour now, before the pandemic they were making about half that. On the flip side, mid-level worker wages have either stayed the same or slightly eroded to the point where they are barely making more than someone asking if you want fries or a drink with the burger. Benefits have eroded too, so there is even less reason to stay loyal to a company. Add in the insane level of inflation, and it’s not difficult to understand why the middle class feels crushed.
I agree completely. My last job paid relatively well buty manager knew i needed the pay cheque so she took that as an opportunity to treat me like absolute shit. She was definitely far right on the narc spectrum and used my good work ethic to her own credit. I left after 3 months...I felt like my soul was being crushed. Id rather struggle than be treated like I don't deserve any human dignity or respect. Its so sad, but it's the state of the world right now.
I've only just now actually found a job but its an hour and a half away and I'm basically homeless for the second time. If it wasn't for my friend letting me stay with him I would be. This country is done for. My plan is to save money and leave asap!!!
Trades are the only way to go. People will always need plumbers, electricians, builders, mechanics, farmers, doctors, dentists, etc. Things people NEED In their day to day situations in life, regardless. Anything else is a rort. Keeping you down BY DESIGN.
Exactly I'm an electrician making over 100k a year because we are in demand and desperately needed. I also have saved enough to earn 1k per month in dividen income. I'm 18 years into this career so I'm definitely above average but it all depends on company you work for, mine also pays per diem, gives me a company truck and free housing but I work in natural gas industry so they have every benefit you can think of to lure workers. I don't regret not going to college and choosing this trade at all.
Bullshit!!!! Trades are the way BULLSHIT!!!! I have a 2 year degree in diesel mechanics for big trucks, can't get hired and I'm also In electrician school now and still can't get any entry level job.... BULLCRAP TRADES jobs hire
I mean $18 is far better than the federal minimum wage of $7.25. I would rather work somewhere where it's a semi-living wage than having to work two to three jobs just to live in a studio apartment. But in many states and cities, the minimum wage cannot be $15 an hour. That probably would've been a lot more relevant over a decade ago when the cost of living was exponentially going up and people were protesting for a wage increase of $15 an hour. Nowadays, though, the wage oughta be at least $25 to be able to maintain a budget, with others like New York and San Francisco at least $35 or so.
Well $18.00/ hr. IS nothing when you you consider every worker in America is SUBSIDIZING the Illegal Aliens. While you're making $30K -40K per year, and can only afford to rent a room, not even your own apartment. Some bar ass naked Illegal Alien with a 3rd Grade Education, just in this country is given by "Your Government" a 2 bedroom Apt. "FREE", over $500.00 a month in Food Stamps, Free Obama Cell Phone, Free Medical for them and their kids - the list goes on and on - all the while your having to be a "Roomer". Keep on voting for those Dumbocrats Folks, and they keep giving those freebies, that are actually subsidizing employers so they can keep paying you not even a "Living Wage"!!! When you finally get tired of NOT counting in your own Country - then it's time you vote the Libertards out of office and vote "Conservative" Republican. The Hispanics and Colored Folk have been waking up now it's your turn to vote "Conservative" Republican!!!!

Employers tell us "We're like a family here", when they won't even let you call in sick while you're throwing up out of both ends, and don't offer you healthcare, 401k, stocks, or even pay you your quarterly bonuses that were promised.
What surprises me is how many companies are paranoid about hiring the "wrong candidate" and how it will damage their company. Employers have lost the rationality to know that it's not always the employee's fault if they don't succeed at your company. Most likely, it is due to the employer's poor training or lack of communication. That's why "nobody wants to work".
I applied direct to a position where I knew half the people and the hiring manager. I had temped for them and they said how they couldn't find a good candidate, which I absolutely am, and they asked me to apply. 5 months later, I got a rejection in a form email. It's insane.

I remember in the 90s when ppl went to college they took low-level base jobs just to pay bills and some on books, because college was a secure spot to get 27 to 32 dollars an hour, i know this is fact due to how my sister moved that way back then. 17 - 18 bucks for a college grad is a disgrace to society as a whole, its NOT even worth it to go to College for anything anymore unless your trying to be a high level doctor or lawyer. smh damn
Ignore their wish list. If they meet you and like you, they'll hire you. The big three that really require an education are medicine, law, and engineering. You could even become an architect without a college degree if you start early enough (10-12 years working at a firm and passing the ARE test.) I became a computer aided designer, and I didn't even have my GED at the time. I took one week's worth of classes at a small training center, got a pirated copy of AutoCAD, and drew some stuff following along to some TH-cam videos. Emailed those plus a well worded resume and started taking interviews. College grads ask for a lot of money, so I undercut them by a little and I was in like Flynn my friends!
So many of America's problems would disappear if working Americans were just paid a decent wage for a change. They are suffering from a half-century of stagnant and declining pay due to voodoo trickle-down Reaganomics which we were promised would lift all boats. It didn't. They are long overdue for a very substantive raise. My understanding is that if pegged to productivity (because “hard work is rewarded”) the minimum wage should be well over $20, and if it went up at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses (hardly work?) it would be over $40. Can you imagine what it would be if it went up at the same rate as CEO compensation? Over 1000%! From BusinessInsider: “The typical full-time salary in America would be $102,000 if wages had kept up with growth - but the economy has failed 90% of workers...”
I've seen this for many years now employers will not call to tell you to come in for an interview they wait to see if you call them back to hound them so they know you actually want the job
When I saw the title, I had to pull up the video to hear what you had to say. Cause, you're right about there being so many job openings, and then we never hear back. Not even to tell us that they received our application. As of this coming summer, I will have been an adult for 23 years, and for that ENTIRE time, I've been applying to no avail. Not even an interview. Not even at the simplest companies for the simplest jobs. TWENTY THREE YEARS. It's like I'm just starting kindergarten, when I've been an adult for so long. There were people who were born the day I became an adult, and THEY all got hired when they were still minors, and everything, but employers won't even interview ME. And, some even got on me for applying. Like I did something wrong by merely applying. When we're supposed to apply, and THEY said "Now hiring." In fact, I've seen positions that were open for over two years, yet they say they can't find anyone to hire. Surely they've had at least one thousand applicants in two years. But they can find NO ONE to hire?! Not even ONE person fits their requirements? And then, the one person who DOES fit their requirements, even THAT person is not hired. But, they're looking for the applicant to fit their requirements. They're NOT looking for someone to fit their requirements. They're looking for Sally Sue to walk in. Hey, employers! Sally Sue is NEVER going to walk in! Obviously, they want to go out of business. Which, guess what. The employer, himself, will wind up in the unemployment line, like that. But, they would much rather that happen, than to actually go ahead and at least give the person the 90 day probation period, and then re-visit the question to see if they still think the person is not a fit for their company, at the end of the 90 days. That would be good for both parties, if they did that. The company, because they would at least still have the job get done, and at the same time, the applicant, because he would be able to have some sort of income, and also have at least something to put on his resume to show that he's willing to work. That's how it would be good for both sides, if they did that. And, like you were saying, they're only willing to pay minimum wage, and so many jobs only offer part time. Even with a masters degree and 20 years experience, and two promotions. Still, minimum wage, part time. That's if the person even gets hired. And, so many people aren't even being interviewed to be able to get hired. Then everyone everywhere, including those very same employers, and even including other unemployed people, say the applicant literally never applied for a job in his life, or that he did something wrong during the application process, to make the employer say "No." There is something wrong with either the system, or the thought process of those in charge / the witnesses. Or both. And don't forget, what's worse, is that employers no longer offer pensions, like they did in the 1980s. It's either 401K, or you get nothing / Social Security as your pension. I'm glad you made this video. I was waiting for someone to make a video to point out the problem, because it needs to be pointed out to those who are part of what's happening, on both sides. The employer's side AND the applicant's side needed to hear it. So, thank you for making this video.
He is correct- has anyone tried to fill out an on line employment application for Target??? There is a personality test of over a 100 ( it seems) questions before you even get to the real employment application info. Many people give up on it before they get through the personality test ( or so I’ve been told). He is also correct that wages are too low and inflation too high. If you make 20$ an hour- it’s like making 10$ an hour because since inflation over the last 3-4 years your money does not go as far. Think about all this before you go vote.
I spent 15 years of being harassed and treated like shit now on disability in my 30s. I was straight up a wage slave and still don't have a car or drive.
I work for $20 which once was considered a good wage now requires a side hustle of delivering just to afford food. I have nothing else. No netflix, no hulu, I don't go out to eat and I don't buy entertainment.
I just retired after working 30+ years. I can tell you these last few years were the last straw. Employers at one time at least showed they appreciated you and if you were a solid contributor, they rewarded you accordingly. Companies are now laying people off not because they are struggling financially but because they missed their short-term quarterly targets or the greedy af executives want to pad their compensation package because they are not paid for running a company well. They are paid according to how the stock price moves, not whether the company is run like a total shit show or their products and services are total garbage.

I haven't worked since about a year before the pandemic. I worked in a salvage yard for 10 years before that. Loved my job. My boss passed away, then I quit. I was only making $700 a week. I have enough passive income to where I don't need to work. My home is also inherited and paid for. Both my parents passed away and left me taken care of. I'm thinking of leaving America and going to a South American country and opening a business. Maybe a small general goods store. I'm divorced with a daughter. My ex won't let me see her despite having court ordered visitations. They don't enforce them. I want to get married and have a family and American women just seem like a lost cause. I tried and it backfired. Theres a whole movement I discovered where American men are going to other countries to find decent normal women to start families and now I want to do it. Find a strict Catholic Latina and open a business and start a family.
exactly. no one seems to care,. i see it all over LINKENIN and INDEED... unless its YOU. these employers and recruiters dont care- they dont call back / nothing
Ive been going through this for years. Yes they are fake ads. They collect your data then you get spam phone calls spam emails by the dozen every hour within 24-48 hours within applying.
I finished my work life at age 68 making $14.50/HR as an experienced and fast mig production welder, 16 years experience at the same gypjoint company. What a joke!
Employers/Businesses don't want to pay you...even when you get the job. The employees do the work of the business, but the owners/management get all of the benefits of your contributions. Better to do something on your own in the long run. Otherwise, you will be nothing more than a slayve.
One of the explanations that makes more sense to me, and one I have experienced a number of times in my career, is employers deliberately slow walking a hire to squeeze additional work out of employees who are covering. They will do that until employees start resigning then blame low level management. Always follow the money.
You Americans have to start getting together and form co-ops. In Finley Ohio on July 10, 2021 the owner of Heavenly Pizza decided to give the days profits to the employees instead of keeping for himself to honor employee appreciation day. His employees all made $78 an hour for that day. They would be making that kind of wage everyday if Heavenly Pizza was a worker co-op. The bosses at your workplace are not required.
The reason businesses are requiring a bachelor masters or an associates degree and a few years experience in because 41 million millennials have one of the three and all of them are applying for the same 12 jobs millennials love the most across the country and businesses need to thin that out enough to find what they are looking for
They want a 25 year old guy with 30 years experience that works for just above minimum wage.
They want to pay us baby wages as adults and expect us to care about the company. I wish we could be honest about how we feel both employers and employees. Neither give a shit about each other its just one big lying contest.

Not to mention the abuse coming from all sides; coworkers, customers, and management. And how you can't even fight back. I've learned that you don't need to do something bad to get you in trouble. You just need someone to perceive you doing something bad and make the right amount of complaints. So, essentially, if the customers don't like you, you WILL be fired eventually. So, not only do you need an education for an entry level job, but a truck load of charisma as well. But then you're dealing with harassment as well. There's just no point in getting a job.
I tried fighting back and proving myself but they just wanted to kick me out the door. I was a good employee who showed up on time while others either left early or didn't show up for days and weeks at a time its just sad. Shows favoritism is alive and well in these companies. I did my job but I wasn't an ass kisser and didn't go above and beyond and do other peoples jobs and I guess they didn't like that, oh well.
@@deconstructingnarcissism3062 I remember I had a coworker who was 16. The customers loved her, but many of us knew she was a lesbian. Older customers would come in and either flirt with her or try and set her up. It was creepy. She wasn't allowed to tell people she didn't date men, or call out grown men for hitting on a minor. She was miserable, but forced to endure it.
Unlike with her, customers would pretty much hate me. They'd try to talk about very personal things or ask stupid questions, then get mad when I'd be honest. Like, they'd ask why the registers were so small. I'd tell them it was because they're meant for customers with small orders. Then they'd get mad and act like I just insulted them. So, lots of times, they'd finish their orders with my coworker. So, we didn't get along.
Yes. Unfortunately that was my situation as well but thankfully I've moved onto corporate America and onto better things. Now I'm currently working as a Financial Advisor building my own business.

I hear you, I'm going through that kind of Crap right now on my current J.O.B. These people are sooooooooooooo Narcissistic that I can't even think straight.......... I'm working as a Freaking Janitor in a V.A. Hospital 🏥 needless to say I'm a Veteran...... And the people that runs this Place hates Veterans, they hate the very f*cking people that went out and stuck their neck out for this country. And then when you get back they Crap all over you........ We stay so short because of it, people aren't stupid they're leaving. It's like Everytime they hire people we're always short because people quit left and right but working on my Excape Right now as I speak....... Because I can't do this anymore plus by Me being a Veteran they expect you to put up with their F*cking Narcissistic Abuse ...........and you're right You can have a Degree No matter what kind and all you'll get is a Entry level position if you get a J.O.B. at all. I went to Mechanic school when ETS'D from the Military and still I never got Hired as a Mechanic. Then I Job hopped from other TOXIC WORKING ENVIRONMENTS plus Getting Fired over Crap I didn't do because people were so damn Toxic and Nasty they didn't want me there so went through a Channel of Worthless J.O.B.S......................

"Nobody wants to pay a fair wage anymore."
Correct
They never did
The fair wage debate is a symptom of something else. Imo, minimum wage shouldnt be super high due to it being essentially the same as "minimum productivity required to get a job" to employers. This prices out the young and handicapped, it leads to employers asking for more requirements which affects those 2 groups the most.
However, wages overall havent kept up with inflation. This is the real issue, as this is where cost of living expenses will hit people the most. Prices for things like a home go up so much while wages only slowly rise. Imagine being in a situation where you save as much money as possible but the cost of the houses around you go up faster than you can save. This isnt an uncommon situation at this point, due to wage stagnation, which makes people feel like they arent getting paid enough to have the future they want. Not even talking about a lavish future, but a middle class future.
This is the type of stuff that makes people talk about how we're moving towards neo-feudalism. However, the medieval surf probably had it better in terms of job security. The cost of labor is purposefully kept as low as possible in order for execs to reap the rewards. Productivity generally goes up every year, but wages have not kept up with the productivity growth.
Nobody wants to pay a fair wage anymore. So true.
There's a business in my town that's hiring, and I was thinking about switching jobs to it. When I asked an employee if the pay was good, she said no. That's why they can't keep good help. Places are understaffed partly because they don't want to do the amount of work they're asked to do, for the pay they're given.
I got exploited for a low wage and bullied at a job a few years ago. Straight up criminal how some employers treat their employees. Men naturally are compromising, charitable and hard working and they get exploited for it.
Yeah. I had been bullied out of a couple low wage jobs. It was real bad and of course nobody gave a shit.
It is ridiculous that we still have employers who think people can be treated like slaves. I have experienced this shit myself and grew tired of it.
A narcissist took over my whole business and threw my out. Narcissists run everything now. My narcissist never did a day of real work. They're just parasites, but as the whole society has become narcissistic, the red carpet is rolled out for them everywhere.
Recently had new owners take over rhe restaurant I work at.. it's a shitshow. They are Indian and barely speak any English, yet took over an all white store in a small north eastern town. They treat everyone like trash, demanding unappreciated and distant/cold. Have had many long time employees quit due to him shaving hours and reducing pay, removing benefits. They are horrible people, the owner class. He has never ONCE thanked the skeleton crew that remains for keeping his store running, never once. He will sink wit this mentality. I am finding a new job, I can't live this way. He schedules ppl 20 hrs less then the old owners did and then calls you 16 times on your day off harassing you to come in, it's like FUCK YOU dude. I've had it. 😠 😡 😤

A nice video. If the minimum wage kept up with inflation, minimum wage would now be about $23 an hour. That says a lot. That’s a big reason millions of people struggle in the US.
I've read that the minimum wage should be way hire around $26-28 if kept up with inflation but I live in the good old state of Illinois so I get fucked by the taxes anyway. If the gov didnt take out as many fucking taxes as they do then we would all be way better off. Its not like the money is going to fix the roads or make our schools better or literally anything useful and the fact that we dont even have the right to see where our taxes go speaks volumes as to what is actually being done with our hard earned money.

So my theory on why companies put out "We're hiring" signs and tell their employees that no one applies; These companies like saving money by being UNDERSTAFFED. The understaffed staff work extra hard, and the company PRETENDS it's trying to fill the positions.
I've been working for the last 3 or 4 years with almost half the needed staff. We run around like chickens with our heads cut off. But we get the work done....and the company is happy to save on pay and benefits.
Exactly. I used to work at Walmart on the 2nd shift unloading team and they would never hire any additional help even though they said we were supposed to have a crew of 14 workers on every day and we only had 6 unloaders total. They love saving money on labor because that is their biggest operating expense.
@@AK-47ISTHEWAY I would tell them that they LOSE money because of burn-out and turnover, but none of them had any real HR or money skills to understand the longterm costs of understaffing.
I work at a union job and we're understaffed. At the Union negotiations next year I'm going to PO a lot of people by pointing this out. I want there to be a bonus structure... figure out what full staffing looks like, then pay bonuses to the people in the positions where there are openings. If we get to full staffing, then no one gets a bonus. But for if say there are 3 people supposed to be working a job and there's two people working it, then split the hourly wage of the open position between those actually doing the job.
Oh, and I work at a nonprofit...
That's what I had in my retail call centre they made us do work for 2 shops with only 2 people and we had people leaving after few weeks as well due to the workload 😅
My first job out of college, top my of class. I earned about $50k a year, which was about enough to afford sleeping on a mattress on a floor of a duplex. Despite bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in billable work, I still only made about 25% more than our group admin (a 49 y/o women with no degree). After about 5 years I realized how raw of a deal, how out leveraged I was. How, in my mind, I was a professional: I had degrees, certifications, a "professional job" with an office and willingness to work hard. Yet, I couldn't afford to buy furniture, eat well, service college debt, or date respectable women. I realized I was a chump, getting paid in fake money to do real work, for my boss and the firm's shareholders.
I’m in my forties and still haven’t even made it to $50k yet. I’m a career changer who went back to school and got my bachelor’s degree in business administration, but still can’t get past that. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong or if it’s just employers being cheapskates.
@@babblesp1367 you can never win because you're the one chasing their job same as hundreds of other applicants, instead of them running after you like it was during the pandemic. It's all about leverage/who is at an advantage during the negotiation.
In school we're not thought anything useful so that when we go work at the factory we can work for minimum wage. At that age they will use the "you don't have any experience" excuse.
Later when you have 10 years of experience they will use the "but you don't have experience with these other tools and positions" excuse.
Later when you're 40+ they will use the "you have lots of experience, you're over qualified, or too old and can't learn new things (we don't want to pay you so much and can't manipulate you that easily anymore)" excuse.
In China they don't hire anyone above the age of 35 because they can't work over time non stop.
Hopefully the market will cool down and the banks will lend out cheap money again so that there will be x2 more jobs than now like it was for many years.

College is basically pay to play. A degree means very little now. I'm over 50. The best advice can give anyone that is 18 is to learn a trade or join the military for one enlistment and then get a government job since they prefer ex military.
I am in retail. It has gone down the drain over the years. Working at a big box store you can see the decline. More and more benefits and perks are being taken away. Little by little so it's not noticeable. It's not fun anymore. As far as everything else at work , Society is deteriorating. People have lost Respect, Patience and Manners. Customers make it hard to go in everyday.
in HS in LA my first "real" job was Teamster's Retail. My management trainees were almost all Vets. God, we had FUN, worked really hard, and were well paid. Then in the early seventies the oil crisis hit, and wages were stalled. Then 1980 and RR, Thatcher, Mulroney in Canada got elected, and GUTTED the Union pay. Killed mentoring and Union PROPER training, but didn't REPLACE it with anything. Nineties killed the unions. This process has been going the wrong direction for a long, long time. Warehouse?? Went "temp" labor where your agency billed 25 an hour, you got 11. No wonder if you can get other income streams going, go for it.
Retail used to be manageable…before inflation got worse, customers got more miserable, managers got more mean and entitled, and our payroll kept getting abysmally lower and lower…
I feel you! The amount of times I've been shredded by customers just because the fitting room is closed.
I use to work full time as a cart pusher in 2012 summer 40+ hours week 8.25$ hr in Chicago

When I see on indeed that it says the salary for a job is anywhere between $15-30 I always assume its the lowest number since none of these employers ever want to mention THE REAL pay!!!
Also check out my other videos if you want to hear me rant about how ridiculous the job application process is. And you're completely right!! Personality tests, written tests, audio interviews I've had it with all of it!!
@@deconstructingnarcissism3062 -- DO NOT ever take a personality tests. Those tests are dangerous and they can and will be used against you. They will also be a permanent record in a file.
I’ve had to lie about my college education and experience to get hired. As long as it wasn’t management, high paying, government, or information security sensitive jobs they didn’t do that much to verify my claims. Unfortunately those jobs demanding education and experience can be done by someone with a high school diploma with no experience. And the pay is a joke.
They demand loyalty yet it’s so easy to get fired and replaced. Cost of everything has gone sky high. Pay hasn’t risen to match that. There’s no point in working, or at least working very hard, just enough to pay your monthly expenses. If I didn’t have my older brother with his house for me to pay rent for a tiny bedroom there, I would be screwed.
I’m doing the “Lie Flat” movement like the Chinese. Do the least amount to just cover the bills. No getting a college degree, no buying a house, no getting married, no having children. Starve the beast.
What I see is constant rotating shifts, one weekend off a month and below average pay. People are tired of that job and the employers never change.
If the pandemic has taught us anything its that we were all considered "essential workers" during the peak of the pandemic and now we're back to being disposable lmao. Nothing changed it was all an act.
Groceries have doubled in price the past year along with other necessities... rent etc...I don't work anymore I'm retired but it seems that nobody can have a decent life making less than $20 an hour. 10 years ago I rented a cute little one bedroom apartment for $450 a month, I'm sure it's going for close to twice that now. I don't know how people make it these days.
I currently live with my gf in a decent one bedroom apartment but before that I had to live in a shoebox studio apartment in a really bad neighborhood. The interior looked like shit, and gunshots could be heard a few times a week not far away from the complex. I also had to deal and kill multiple rodents in my apartment and the landlord basically did nothing about it. That same apartment complex I was paying $750 a month on a $16 an hour wage back then has now risen to $1100 a month and thats not even including utilities which I had to pay for them all. It basically appreciated in value by over $300 a month and my slumlord didn't add anything of value since I got there.
Where I live a one room is at least 2000 a month and minimum wage is 17$
The two bedroom apartment I share with my family is going to be 3K MtM, and the year lease is near 2K. We don't have a dumpster anymore, we are only allowed one small bin of trash for a week... (everyone breaks that rule tho).

How long did you stay there ?
The jobs aren’t meant to hire. They are collecting information. The prerequisites for entry levels is a façade. They want who they want. Everyone should start finding ways to create income. The only thing stopping us is the rent, mortgage, phone bill, car insurance, gas. These jobs are paying less that $20/hr, which after taxes, soc sec, Medicaid $20 is 15.50-16.50.
I don’t want to work tbh. Let me rephrase that. I don’t want to work at the same place all the time being treated like a robot or like crap. I don’t want to work at a place that takes two three weeks to put me on payroll.

Dock CEO pay then and reallocate to the workers
@@TheLegitAlpha Yes and no. What you are saying is essentially correct in my opinion just not deep/extensive enough. I like the idea I just dont like that when people say this that they only say the CEO. Because the wealthy argue back that splitting up the ceo pay between all the employees would not be much of a increase for all the employees. Which of course is a dishonest argument because that would also include giving a piece of his/her pay to other overpaid executives. So what should be done is docking executives and some upper management pay. This is because if the overpaid CEO that sucks all the wages to the top is making 30 or 40 million a year there is no chance his circle of executives immediately below him are making reasonable salaries.
On a slightly separate note I have no problem with executives and bosses/managers making more than the average production/floor worker. Although the amount of difference is insane. No one does $30 million worth of work while other people only make food stamp wages.
None of either of these statements are meant to be talking about a business owner that are privately owned and not incorporated.
unfortunately it does not work that way. if somehow the govt gave everyone 1 million dollars the value of 1 million dollars would essentially be 0.
@@TheLegitAlpha if you do that math, it doesn't actually work out. Completely eliminating a CEOs pay would only free up a few dollars per employee per year.
Why stop there? Why not $100 an hr?

There is an explanation for this. "5yr exp and a degree" for entry level position can be translated as "we will hire senior-level employees that were fired elsewhere for pocket-money worth of salary".
One may try to go into trades (truck driver, electrician, welder, plumber etc). The jobs are fairly easy to learn and I heard demand for them and the salaries are quite high (sometimes surpassing the "cozy" jobs).
With the price of gas, groceries , utilities, mortgage and car. You need 25 dollars and hour at least.
At least. I wipe my ass with 15-18 an hour. Like what the fuck am I supposed to do with that? This is exactly the reason why I'm building a business in Financial Services right now.

Around here almost all jobs pay around $16 an hour give or take a dollar. IF you want $20+ you need a degree or enough experience and willingness to deal with the stress to have a management role. But no rent is under $1000 a month except for subsidized housing you can't qualify for on $16 an hour full time. So after rent, utilities, food, household expenses, and your phone you have nothing left. The real livable wage around here if you work 40 hours a week and don't have a bunch of student debt to pay back is like $25 an hour. At $10-$15 to that if you have the student debt. No one pays that unless you have a STEM degree AND 5-10 years experience and even then the number of those jobs is very limited. So most people have to have work at least 50-60 hours a week to make it either in a couple hourly jobs or with an hourly job and a side hustle. Or they work 40 hours a week and have to just be ok with living pay check to pay check and no left over money for entertainment or putting into a 401K or savings and no vising/dental/even in some cases health insurnce. And that's if you don't have credit card debt. It is no wonder some just give up entirely.

I finally got "hired" by an employer last week. I did not even have to interview for the job which was great because I hate interviews. It has been a week now, and they still have not sent the paperwork so I can finally get on with them. I have contacted them twice to let them know I have not received it, and still no paperwork has gotten to me. I have no idea if my info is messed up, they are completely forgetful, or are just leading me on. It's been one thing after another, I swear. Life's passing me by, and while I have myself to blame for a lot of that, these employers either not considering me in the first place or dropping the ball on the hiring process just exacerbate that feeling.
I completely understand. Back in 2020-mid 2021 I was getting 4-5 interviews a week and now that number has dropped to zero. I've filled out hundreds of applications on indeed as well as on actual company websites and I almost never get a call back now. I just gave up. I'm in Financial Services now building my own business now and while its been a slow process its so much better than working for someone else. I don't think I'll ever be able to do that shit again after how I was treated at my last job.
Did they ever get back to you?
This is all true and my best suggestion is to opt out or tap out. In other words, buy some land owner financed, get a home depot shed. Pay off credit cards and car note. My car note is paid my credit card debt is low. Get a porta potty, gym membership to take showers and wash your clothes at the laundromat and for electricity solar power and heat. Now you can save money, this is living off-grid. We can get together and have our own communities.

I use to think getting a job was hard. The fact is an employer needs you 2000 times more than you need them. My point? Stop taking sh1t from employers and demand! If everyone did this we could name our price and our perks. And END bullying in the workplace by fehmale managers!
But unfortunately employers are at advantage because they have abundant supply of poor people ready to work for them at what ever wages.

Totally agree man. A $15/hr job is for teenagers still in high school. Those kind of jobs are fine if you have a primary income where you're getting much higher pay and perhaps 35 hours a week and want another 15 hours to help supplement, while perhaps having different scenery.
Otherwise you may want to look into getting a CDL B or A, where there are a ton of positions that they're having a tough time filling and pay livable wages you can get a little ahead on depending on the job.
Employers don't like teenagers working for them but in the same breath they have no problem telling adults working there that its a job for teens lol. Ok well if thats the case then hire teenagers but most of them don't want to work for your crappy wages either so I guess you're SOL then lmao.
We have SO many people apply at my workplace who just never get contacted back.

They get a kickback from the colleges since foreign students pay triple the tuition as locals, the same time libs also get a kickback from corporations because these temp students now with work permit in hand, unable go on welfare, so they have to jump on every and any job avail out there, so you see them in Walmart, DQ, KFC, Pizza H and other places employing them for minimum wage, part time, or on call, temp, short contract, etc. Later these folks now permanent residents will get hired to do the jobs you are applying for, only for half the money. This is how the Government makes sure you remain poor and corporations maximize their profits, while resolving a large demographic issue, NA currently faces.
In the 50's and early 60's profit margines were about 10-11% on average.
Now they're about 14-15%.
In the 50's Unions was 33% the population. Now its only now its only just over 6%.
In the 50s it was common to find a good job right after highschool where you could put in 30yrs. Now to get an entry level job you realistically need at least a college degree and 5yrs experience. Only entry level jobs that dont are fast food at retail.
50's all the way to even the early 2000's it was possible for a man to support his family by himself. Now both parents need to work just to rent while both kids are raised by questionable daycares.
In the 50s divorce rates were about 66% or less. Now they're 70% or higher.
In the 50s 9-5 existed. Now we still call it 9-5 but its really 8-5 where many of us are expected to donate a free 30mins of labor to the company.....or we're unpaid for 30min lunch....when many of us would rather just not have a half hour lunch and instead go in at 9am instead of 8am. Its just a scam to keep us at work longer but still pay us the same.
Yes, racisim and sexisim was a thing back then. But undoubtedly there was a lot of good things fot american workers. Better wages, everything was more affordable, better work life balance, and marriage stability (the glue of society). I think we all want what the 50s provided but want it for everyone of all races and sexes.
We’re working to build someone else’s dream not ours
When the pay is up, the productivity is up when the productivity is up then the company prospers then everyone wins. Idk why companies don’t understand this
The company wants the high productivy and the low wages. Its always been their way or the highway.

Im blessed, I have a great job as a lab tech and recruiters and other labs are reaching out to me constantly. The very first thing I ask is starting salary AND BENEFITS and invariably, its 17-20 bucks an hour. I and others like me have invested tens of thousands in our education; Im not getting out of bed for anything sub-25 with benefits (retirement plan, healthcare insurance, PTO, and education compensation BARE MINIMUM).
I understand not very many folks are in my position, but we owe it to the people coming after us to force large companies to compensate fairly. That is, pay me for my labor, take care of my health costs, and reimburse me for the time and money I spent making myself a good worker. We hold all the power if we simply demand better conditions together
I work for a DSP, which delivers for Amazon. My company overstaffs to make sure we have enough people to cover routes, because dropped routes = paying Amazon for it since they then have to Flex them out (basically have gig workers deliver them) and pay the people to deliver them.
The job starts at $19 an hour, $3 up from when I started (I now make $21 an hour) where I live. However, it's still barely enough for people to live on, especially for someone like me who lives alone. It needs to be $25 an hour starting, because delivery is a dangerous job.
They've been hiring like crazy because people keep getting fired over dumb stuff (safety issues). Nothing required, just be 21, have a valid driver's license, and pass a drug test. These jobs requiring all this crap for entry-level positions are ridiculous.
10 years ago my rent was $950 for a three bedroom. It is now $2015! Thanks Democrats and thank you most of all THANK YOU so much Democrat voters. Also FYI I just paid $65 for two lousy bags of groceries
Ha Ha! Hate to tell you, but it's the wealthy Republicans that own all of these real estate investment companies that are buying up every single rental property in my state and then instantly doubling the monthly rents, while they aren't paying corporate taxes. My apartment complex was bought out by a CA company and they immediately told all tenants their rents were going up by 68% a month so most people were forced to move out! This is happening everywhere in my state. Homelessness has increased by 23% in the last 2 years, which is the highest increase of any state in the U.S.. You can't blame all problems on just one political party or the other. There is plenty of blame to be shared by all when you do some research.

i have always thought… why do some businesses are ALWAYS hiring… that alone should say something… especially small businesses… a huge company may be understandable since in a poll of hundreds it can foreseen someone leaves every week due to reasons NOT related to be unhappy and quitting or being fired… but small businesses always hiring? People should see how most of the reviews for almost jobs have an average of 3 stars…
Unpopular opinion, but...
The time to usher hyper-automation and A.I. in the workplace is now.
If a business cannot or refuses to streamline, automate, and mechanize existing facilities.
That business should not exist.
As we are now in the beginning of a post human labor era.
Hahahahahahaha😂
They been saying this for 50 years. It seams like they just implement enough of the "mashine work" to keep people in check.
"If you don't want to do it for cheap we will replace you with mashine and you got nothing at all" scare has worked since the "be lucky you have a job in time and age where robots are becoming more and more used" is a sales pitch every manager has used in every line of manual labour work I ever did. But when you look at the budget reality of any bussnes it becomes clear why that is not gonna happen until robots can make other robots without ANY human involvement - a.k.a self replicating. But what will the rich elite do to us when they TRULY dont have any use for us and we are nothong but "freeloders"? Did you know there is a increasing "consensus" amongst the powerful elite that world population should be brought back to 400 milion or so? Just saying. We had Hitler, Stalin, Mau and others who had no problem killing 100's of millions. They wont nees our consensus when they can have bilions robots do the soldiers dirty work either.
My place has us building custom stuff out of wood and no CNC machines or nothing.
We jokingly call ourself "modern day Amish"
Why? Cause we are cheaper then the mashine. They would have to pay up front for the mashines and other equipment and pay more for the "operator" there after which companies don't like doing.
This is why they dont buy printers for example. They pay per page printed and the cost is more palatable from one pay period to the next.
Also, even thought I do high skill wood working they don't give me any official title so they pay like unskilled labor. I as individual can go someplace else that will do the same since no one will hire me despite my skills since I don't have a peace of paper saying so.
But that doesn't change overall picture since my company would just do this to someone else.
I used to think positive of education systems till I realised why they truly exist -making sure companies have labour they need. They bring the cost up so you always have large segments of "uneducated" people for cheap labour, even tho most of us (in my company) do SKILLED labour that takes 6-12 months to learn, not 6-12 hours, and 2nywars to truly be "on your own". If more people go to school they increase the fee till they cant and all is good again.
An individual can do better for themself but not us as society. When we all say "to hell with it" and there is labour shortage the government starts hiking the rate till the labour becomes cheap again.
There is no free market or capitalism notion of "supply and demand" here. Its all rigged in favour of the rich elite. When product demand is high they have no reservation raising prices but when labour damand is high they (republican and democrats hand in hand play their voters people like a flute when it comes to this) will make living condition a hell and invite MILLIONS of "migrants" over to "fix the problem" and ultimately underline any power the working class has.
It would make sense to completely automate everything but in the end automation would just be used by corporations to further enslave people. None of it is being made to make our lives easier job wise at least. When most of them become automated we're going to violence like we have never seen before.
What? Think that one through a little. No productive members of Society - then no one buys those products put out by Robots - and those companies have to close their doors. It's like the Insanity of EV's. Their 50% more expensive and 80% of Americans; 1.) Don't want them, 2.) Can't afford them. So make all the laws supporting Green Agenda you want, but it all collapses under Supply/Demand!
This won't work. No matter how efficient machines are, human labor + machine labor > only machine labor. Countries that produce more outcompete countries that don't, so there is always going to be that incentive to make humans produce.

entry level wages is below the poverty line with todays inflation
I've been telling people but for some reason they seem to think these wages are livable lol. Maybe in a few parts of the country just barely, but I live in Illinois, one of the worst states in the country so these wages don't pay for shit lol
They don’t get back to you because hundreds of people are submitting an application for the same job. A lot of larger companies have software that pre-reads resumes and cover letters, and filters out applicants based on content (or lack there of). The best way you can get in to a company is having the right connection… it’s not always what you know, but who you know. Creating a network is important for almost any occupation. Getting rejected by an employer, and not getting call backs isn’t fun but you gotta get over it and move on.
People don’t want to work because there isn’t as much to work up to as there was before the pandemic. Entry level wages around me have skyrocketed, McDonald’s workers around me are making $18/hour now, before the pandemic they were making about half that. On the flip side, mid-level worker wages have either stayed the same or slightly eroded to the point where they are barely making more than someone asking if you want fries or a drink with the burger. Benefits have eroded too, so there is even less reason to stay loyal to a company. Add in the insane level of inflation, and it’s not difficult to understand why the middle class feels crushed.
Regular jobs just really suck these days. It's not worth the time or your health in many cases.
I agree completely. My last job paid relatively well buty manager knew i needed the pay cheque so she took that as an opportunity to treat me like absolute shit. She was definitely far right on the narc spectrum and used my good work ethic to her own credit. I left after 3 months...I felt like my soul was being crushed. Id rather struggle than be treated like I don't deserve any human dignity or respect. Its so sad, but it's the state of the world right now.
I hope more and more people keep quitting their jobs, enough is enough

I mean $18 is far better than the federal minimum wage of $7.25. I would rather work somewhere where it's a semi-living wage than having to work two to three jobs just to live in a studio apartment. But in many states and cities, the minimum wage cannot be $15 an hour. That probably would've been a lot more relevant over a decade ago when the cost of living was exponentially going up and people were protesting for a wage increase of $15 an hour. Nowadays, though, the wage oughta be at least $25 to be able to maintain a budget, with others like New York and San Francisco at least $35 or so.
Well $18.00/ hr. IS nothing when you you consider every worker in America is SUBSIDIZING the Illegal Aliens.

@@blightedgrounds I say fuck you!! Thats what I think of your "family"
What surprises me is how many companies are paranoid about hiring the "wrong candidate" and how it will damage their company. Employers have lost the rationality to know that it's not always the employee's fault if they don't succeed at your company. Most likely, it is due to the employer's poor training or lack of communication. That's why "nobody wants to work".
You can barley afford to buy groceries or fill up your tank for $17 an hour.

I remember in the 90s when ppl went to college they took low-level base jobs just to pay bills and some on books, because college was a secure spot to get 27 to 32 dollars an hour, i know this is fact due to how my sister moved that way back then. 17 - 18 bucks for a college grad is a disgrace to society as a whole, its NOT even worth it to go to College for anything anymore unless your trying to be a high level doctor or lawyer. smh damn

Ignore their wish list. If they meet you and like you, they'll hire you. The big three that really require an education are medicine, law, and engineering. You could even become an architect without a college degree if you start early enough (10-12 years working at a firm and passing the ARE test.) I became a computer aided designer, and I didn't even have my GED at the time. I took one week's worth of classes at a small training center, got a pirated copy of AutoCAD, and drew some stuff following along to some TH-cam videos. Emailed those plus a well worded resume and started taking interviews. College grads ask for a lot of money, so I undercut them by a little and I was in like Flynn my friends!
I don't want to be wealthy.

So many of America's problems would disappear if working Americans were just paid a decent wage for a change. They are suffering from a half-century of stagnant and declining pay due to voodoo trickle-down Reaganomics which we were promised would lift all boats. It didn't.
They are long overdue for a very substantive raise.
My understanding is that if pegged to productivity (because “hard work is rewarded”) the minimum wage should be well over $20, and if it went up at the same rate as Wall Street bonuses (hardly work?) it would be over $40. Can you imagine what it would be if it went up at the same rate as CEO compensation? Over 1000%! From BusinessInsider: “The typical full-time salary in America would be $102,000 if wages had kept up with growth - but the economy has failed 90% of workers...”
I've seen this for many years now employers will not call to tell you to come in for an interview they wait to see if you call them back to hound them so they know you actually want the job
When I saw the title, I had to pull up the video to hear what you had to say. Cause, you're right about there being so many job openings, and then we never hear back. Not even to tell us that they received our application. As of this coming summer, I will have been an adult for 23 years, and for that ENTIRE time, I've been applying to no avail. Not even an interview. Not even at the simplest companies for the simplest jobs. TWENTY THREE YEARS. It's like I'm just starting kindergarten, when I've been an adult for so long. There were people who were born the day I became an adult, and THEY all got hired when they were still minors, and everything, but employers won't even interview ME. And, some even got on me for applying. Like I did something wrong by merely applying. When we're supposed to apply, and THEY said "Now hiring."
In fact, I've seen positions that were open for over two years, yet they say they can't find anyone to hire. Surely they've had at least one thousand applicants in two years. But they can find NO ONE to hire?! Not even ONE person fits their requirements? And then, the one person who DOES fit their requirements, even THAT person is not hired. But, they're looking for the applicant to fit their requirements. They're NOT looking for someone to fit their requirements. They're looking for Sally Sue to walk in. Hey, employers! Sally Sue is NEVER going to walk in!
Obviously, they want to go out of business. Which, guess what. The employer, himself, will wind up in the unemployment line, like that. But, they would much rather that happen, than to actually go ahead and at least give the person the 90 day probation period, and then re-visit the question to see if they still think the person is not a fit for their company, at the end of the 90 days. That would be good for both parties, if they did that. The company, because they would at least still have the job get done, and at the same time, the applicant, because he would be able to have some sort of income, and also have at least something to put on his resume to show that he's willing to work. That's how it would be good for both sides, if they did that.
And, like you were saying, they're only willing to pay minimum wage, and so many jobs only offer part time. Even with a masters degree and 20 years experience, and two promotions. Still, minimum wage, part time. That's if the person even gets hired. And, so many people aren't even being interviewed to be able to get hired. Then everyone everywhere, including those very same employers, and even including other unemployed people, say the applicant literally never applied for a job in his life, or that he did something wrong during the application process, to make the employer say "No." There is something wrong with either the system, or the thought process of those in charge / the witnesses. Or both.
And don't forget, what's worse, is that employers no longer offer pensions, like they did in the 1980s. It's either 401K, or you get nothing / Social Security as your pension.
I'm glad you made this video. I was waiting for someone to make a video to point out the problem, because it needs to be pointed out to those who are part of what's happening, on both sides. The employer's side AND the applicant's side needed to hear it. So, thank you for making this video.
He is correct- has anyone tried to fill out an on line employment application for Target??? There is a personality test of over a 100 ( it seems) questions before you even get to the real employment application info. Many people give up on it before they get through the personality test ( or so I’ve been told). He is also correct that wages are too low and inflation too high. If you make 20$ an hour- it’s like making 10$ an hour because since inflation over the last 3-4 years your money does not go as far. Think about all this before you go vote.
I spent 15 years of being harassed and treated like shit now on disability in my 30s. I was straight up a wage slave and still don't have a car or drive.
It sucks to work for crap wages and NO benefits. They can do it themselves, greedy a-holes.
I work for $20 which once was considered a good wage now requires a side hustle of delivering just to afford food. I have nothing else. No netflix, no hulu, I don't go out to eat and I don't buy entertainment.
I just retired after working 30+ years. I can tell you these last few years were the last straw. Employers at one time at least showed they appreciated you and if you were a solid contributor, they rewarded you accordingly. Companies are now laying people off not because they are struggling financially but because they missed their short-term quarterly targets or the greedy af executives want to pad their compensation package because they are not paid for running a company well. They are paid according to how the stock price moves, not whether the company is run like a total shit show or their products and services are total garbage.

Employers/Businesses don't want to pay you...even when you get the job. The employees do the work of the business, but the owners/management get all of the benefits of your contributions. Better to do something on your own in the long run. Otherwise, you will be nothing more than a slayve.
One of the explanations that makes more sense to me, and one I have experienced a number of times in my career, is employers deliberately slow walking a hire to squeeze additional work out of employees who are covering. They will do that until employees start resigning then blame low level management. Always follow the money.

You Americans have to start getting together and form co-ops. In Finley Ohio on July 10, 2021 the owner of Heavenly Pizza decided to give the days profits to the employees instead of keeping for himself to honor employee appreciation day. His employees all made $78 an hour for that day. They would be making that kind of wage everyday if Heavenly Pizza was a worker co-op. The bosses at your workplace are not required.
The reason businesses are requiring a bachelor masters or an associates degree and a few years experience in because 41 million millennials have one of the three and all of them are applying for the same 12 jobs millennials love the most across the country and businesses need to thin that out enough to find what they are looking for
